помогите перевести литературный текст..

I have found it is beat to learn a speech point by point, not word for word. Careful preparation and a great deal of practicing are required to make it come together smoothly and easily. Mark twain once said: «it takes three weeks to prepare a good ad-lib speech»
Brevity is an Asset
A sensible plan, if you have been asked to speak to an axact limit is to talk your speech into a mirror and stop at your allotted time; then cut the speech accordingly. The more familiar you become with your speech, the more confidently you can deliver it.
As anyone who listens to speeches knows, brevity is an asset. Twenty minutes are ideal. An hour ia the limit an audience can listen comfortably.
How Questions Help.
A Question period at the end of a speech is a good notion . one would not ask Questions following a tribute to the company treasurer on his retirement, say, but a technical talk or an informative speech can be enlivened with a Question period.
The Crowd.
The large The Crowd, the easier it is to speak, because the response is multiplied and increased. Most people do not believe this. They peek out from behind the curtain, and if the audience is filled to the rafters, they begin to moan softly in the back of their throats.
What about Stage Fright?
Very few speakers escape the so-called «butterflies». There does not seem to be any cure for them, except to realize that they are beneficial rather then harmful, and never fatal. the tension usually means that the speaker, being keyed up, will do a better job. Edward R. Murrow called stage fright «the sweat of perfection». Mark Twain once comforted a fright-frozen friend about to speak: «just remember they do not expect much». My own feeling is that with thought, preparation, and faith in your ideas, you can go out there and expect a pleasant surprise.
